Given the rotation of the earth, the orbit of the earth around the sun, the sun around the galaxy, the galaxy as it zooms toward the Great Attractor, I've always wondered how ghosts (and other spirits) manage to stay in the vicinity.  When you add it all together, we're moving pretty darn fast!

Relative to the surface of the Earth, we're hardly moving at all.

In MY frame of reference, the earth is hardly moving at all.

Obviously because they're made of matter, just more refined.

Particularly when the "vicinity" is a ship at sea.
I do imagine the Earth travelling through space leaving a trail of dimsembodied souls in its wake.

This is why the concept of "we travelled through time but not space" and "we have to accelerate up to eighty-eight miles per hour" make no sense in reality.

It's a good thing that crimes of Lèse-majesté are rarely (if ever) prosecuted in The United Kingdom, or your next visit to London would end with a very short tour of the Tower! 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If they persist in using French to name the crime then the "justice" system is rightly hiding in shame rather than prosecute it.

So... rather than beg forgiveness and throw yourself on the mercy of the court, you intend to antagonise the judge and make a cause célèbre of yourself.
Off with his head!

Maybe it's called "profiling", but installing anti-virus software with a Russian name is not something I was willing to do. And maybe it's called "being ignorant" if I think that any other anti-virus software doesn't share the potential for doing wrong as well.
I guess a new era is dawning (or maybe it's already noon) -- can you trust your anti-virus software?
